Retirement is not a destination. It is a journey. For some people it is the time they exit the working world for a life of leisure. For others, it is a chance to change careers, give back, spend more time with grandchildren or in the garden.
Some will retire on a pre-defined schedule. Some will retire earlier than expected due to illness, injury, or family necessity. Whichever circumstance happens to you, it is best to be prepared mentally, emotionally, and financially.
This blog is about facing those challenges and figuring out how to handle them. I am going to share ideas with you, explain what worked for me, describe common pitfalls. I will seek your feedback and share new research about how to live a contented, thrifty life. Let’s begin this journey together!
